1.On Open Policy

The open policy means that our country is open
to investment, trade and technical and
economic cooperation with other countries on
the basis of equality and mutual benefit. The
purpose of open policy is to acquire advanced
technology, management skills to serve our
socialist construction so as to promote the
realization of the four modernizations.
We must adhere to the open policy. Because
economic relations between states today have
become increasingly close, and no country can
possibly advance behind close doors. Only in
this way, can we gradually close the gap
between our country and the developed
countries.
Through the implementation of policy, we can
learn advanced technology and managerial
expertise from abroad; make full use of the
foreign capitals to set up great enterprises;
absorb useful and healthy ideas and new
knowledge of the modern civilization; and
broaden our views and raise our level of
competence.

2. The place of Science and Technology in

Modern Life.
Human life can not continue without science
and technology. For many years, human society
has developed with the advance of science and
technology while the development of science
and technology has in turn brought the process
to mankind. So the life we are living now is
more civilized than that of our fore fathers.
The development of science and technology
have brought about many changes in people's
life. For example, the invention of television and
space rocket have opened a new era for
mankind. Through the use of TV people can
hear the sound and learn the events happening
thousands of miles away. Owing to the
invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of
man's landing on the moon has now come true.
Science and technology also play an important
role in our socialist construction. We may say,
our socialist construction is just like a
skyscraper, while science and technology are its
base. Without the base, the skyscraper can't be
built. Therefore, we should try our best to
contribute to the development of science and
technology so as to provide a more solid base
to build our country.

3. Importance of Education
China, as a developing country, is determined
to catch up with and even surpass the
developed ones. I think that one of the best
possible ways to do so is to give first priority(优
先）to the development of culture, science and
especially education.
In modern times, when science and technology
are making great progress, the education of the
work force is of primary importance. Moreover,
many of the success in advanced countries have
demonstrated that a nation 's prosperity mainly
depends on the quality of its labour force,
namely those who have been well educated.
In a developing country such as China, our
investment in culture, education and science,
and especially elementary education, must
enjoy top priority. This is crucial(决定性的）for
China to catch up with the developed nations in
today's surging(汹涌的) waves of technological
revolution. Otherwise, the gap between China
and advanced countries will be widened rather
than bridged.

4. Air Pollution
Air pollution is one of the major problems of
the modern world. A great deal of energy is
needed to run the factories of modern
industrial nations. Automobile, trains, planes
and busses need energy, too. Nearly all of this
energy is produced by burning fuels. The
burning produces wastes, some of which
remain in the air, causing air pollution.
Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution
especially in big industrial areas and
densely-populated cities. They are studying
new ways of generating electricity that may be
less damaging to the environment. In the
meantime, many power plants are being
modernized to give off less polluted material.
Also, engineers try to design and locate new
power plants to do minimum damage to the
environment.
However, it may be that we still have a long way
to go before we have a "clean" world. Nearly all
of the countries are trying hard to prevent and
control air pollution. There indeed seems to be
no end to tasks that environmentalists will be
required to do. People will continually find new
ways to control pollution.

5. Environmental Protection
Today the quality of our natural environment
has become an important issue. The world
population is rising so quickly that the world
has become too crowded. We are using up our
natural resources and at the same time
polluting our environment with dangerous
chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on
earth cannot survive.
Concerned people have made some progress in
environmental protection. Governments of
many countries have established laws to
protect the air, forests and sea resources and to
stop environmental pollution.
Still more measures should be taken to solve
environmental problems. People should be
further educated to recognize the importance
of the problems, to use modern methods of
birth control, to conserve(保存） our natural
resources and recycle （ 再 循 环 ） our
products. We are sure that we can have a
better and cleaner place in the future.

6. Automobiles
Automobiles, as a product of modern
civilization, have been playing a vital part in the
daily activities of human society. Industry needs
automobiles for farming as well as
transportation. Every day, automobiles drive
people to and from work. On weekends
automobiles take families for joyful outings.
And during holiday seasons, automobiles fill
the highways everywhere, even in remote areas.
It could be said that the wheels of automobiles
move society forward.
But automobiles have also given rise to a series
of problems. For example, cities are
overcrowded with automobiles. They create a
lot of noise and traffic accidents which disable
（伤残） or kill many people each year. Worst of
all perhaps is the air pollution caused by the
exhaust gases produced by automobiles. Some
of the gases are highly toxic(有毒的） and a
serious health hazard.
7. Computer
The computer is widely used in all fields of
society. Today, wherever you go, you will find
computers being used. For example, computers
are used in universities, large corporations, and
small offices, etc. It has even entered the homes
of ordinary people. As it is able to store and
process a large amount of information, the
computer bring about great convenience and
high efficiency to people of all walks of life.
Computers can help people in different ways.
For example, computer help scientists in
analyzing data and doing complex calculation.
For another example, computers are made use
of by engineers in designing a plane, or a
spaceship. Besides, computers may also play a
great role in helping children with their lesson.
Whatever you are doing, you many find
computer a useful aid.
However, the computer must be designed and
instructed by man. What is more, it is true that
computers can make decisions, but they need
detailed instructions and programs prepared by
humans to operate. Therefore, the computer
can never replace the human brain.

8. Travelling
It is exciting to visit different places. As you
travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical of
the region. Besides, you can meet and make
friends with people of different colors and races.
Finally, you can get to know the customs and
living habits of the local people. Today people
are so fond of travelling that tourism has
become one of the faster growing industries in
most countries.
The main reason why people travel is, perhaps,
for pleasure. For example, having worked hard
throughout the weekdays, people will find a
widened trip to the nearby mountains or
beaches a real relaxation. For another example,
spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is
an especially satisfying experience for those
who do not have much of an opportunity to be
away from their homelands. When people
return from their travel, they will generally feel
fresh and energetic, ready to work harder.
Travelling is also one of the best means for
learning. You may have read or heard about
something but you can never get an accurate
picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing
is believing. Furthermore, if you area careful
observer, you can learn much during your travel
about the geography, biology, and history of
the places you visit. No matter how well
educated you are, there is always a lot for you
to learn through travelling. The knowledge
acquired from travel, as you will have found in
your life, is no less valuable than that from any
influential reference book.

9. The World Population Explosion

The human race has experienced a consistent
increase in population since the beginning of its
history. Famine and disease have done little to
offset( 抵 消 ） this steady increase. Too many
people are added annually to the population of
the world. So both the causes of population
increase and the results of having more people
are worth careful study.
Culture evolution is the major factor
responsible for population increase. Early in
human development, people invented tools to
hunt animals. Later they built shelters to protect
themselves. Step by step, they made life easier.
As a result, fewer died from natural forces, such
as harsh climate and disease.
In the past, when population grew, there was
unexplored territory to inhabit. But now, almost
all the habitable land has been explored.
The world's population may reach 8.7 billion in
2033. It is clear that world population is a
serious issue that needs careful attention.
Human beings are unique to solve problems
through cultural evolution.(发展） Facing the
world population explosion in the near future.
We must carry out the birth control program in
order to save the mankind and save the world.

10. Opening-door Policy is the Only Way to

Make China StrongModern Chinese history
leads us to the conclusion that socialism, not
capitalism is best for China. But how a socialist
China should look at capitalism and more
importantly, make use of the better side of
capitalism for its own advantage is of vital(至关）
importance to the country.
As far as our country's economic construction is
concerned, taking advantage of the part of
capitalism that is useful to us means we need to
develop foreign trade, introduce advanced
technology and better management, and make
use of foreign funds. It also means we can
absorb some of the economic theories, and
make use of those economic policies, methods
and measures that comply with(遵循） the law
of mass production and a commodity economy.
By opening our windows wider to the outside
world, people can learn more about other
peoples and learn to make sensible judgments.
Absorbing the better part of the cultures of
other people to enrich ourselves is the best way
to safeguard our socialist culture. So taking
advantage of capitalism and stepping up
economic reforms is the only way to make
China strong. Closing the county to
international exchanges will only keep it weak.

11. Choosing an Occupation

Every one faces the problem of choosing an
occupation after graduation from college or
university, which plays a vital role in his life. An
appropriate occupation makes a man work with
zest(热情） and vigor, as well as contribute to his
country.
To make a wise choice, two important things
should be taken into consideration. One is the
interest, the other, the demands of people and
society. Only if the two aspects are connected,
can a man show his talent and ability to the
best advantage. If the two conflict, the former
should be under the latter, for the people's
interests are more important than the
individual's.
In regard to my choice in the future, I am fond
of learning foreign languages; what is more,
with the implementation of the Open-Door
Policy, exchange between home and abroad in
economy and culture has been growing
significantly, thus I'm determined to be a
qualified interpreter.

12. The Brain and the Computer

Some recent developments in the computer
industry make scientists predict that the gap
between human beings and machines will be
closed about the year 20000.
To understand the significance of this
prediction let us compare the human brain with
existing computers. The brain consumes
electrical energy at the rate of 25 watts and
occupies a volume of one tenth of a cubic foot.
The brain houses between 10 billion and 100
billion items of information. Every brain cell is
directly connected to many other cells. As a
result, the cells in which information is stored
can communicate with thousands of other cells.
However, the computer consumes 1000,000
watts of electrical power and occupies
hundreds of cubic feet of space. Its million
items of immediately accessible information. In
contrast, the computer memory is like a cell of
pigeonholes, with no thinking capacity and no
connections elsewhere.
In a word, the electronic brains are hopelessly
inadequate in comparison with the human
brains.

13. Health and Life

As the saying goes, you don‟t know what
happiness is until you lose it‟ you don‟t know
what health is until you are ill. “Health is of vital
importance to life” sounds like a cliche to
everyone, but it is absolutely true.
The negligence of the delicate balance of your
body and soul, the harmful habits such as
smoking, excessive drinking and burning
mid-night oil will catch up with you someday.
How many big plans are interrupted by bad
health! Even a normal life is unimaginable
without the guarantee of health.
How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity
and controversy. Regardless of all the different
suggestions poured from all kinds of sources,
one should do at least two things for
him/herself. First, hold an active and optimistic
attitude toward life and maintain a mental
well-being. Second, live a regular life and keep
a balanced diet. Anyway, a healthy life is within
reach when you begin to adjust your mind and
body.

14. Energy Resources

China is rich in various energy resources. Coal
and petroleum, for instance, are two major ones.
They are essential in developing the country's
industry, science and technology. China has
done a great deal in the past few decades to
raise its output of coal and petroleum.
Three energy resources are being used up
rapidly, With the building of four modernization,
new industrial and science projects are
springing up like bamboo shoots after rain.
They are all big consumers of energy resources.
Besides there has been considerable waste in
the utilization of these resources.
To avoid an energy crisis in the future, the
government must take certain measures. First,
it should let people know the importance of
saving energy. Second, efforts should be made
to develop new energy resources, such as solar
energy, geothermal(地热） energy and so on.
We have reason to be optimistic in this respect.

15. Competition
Competition makes people original and
creative. It very necessary to compete if human
society wants to advance. (Even animals
compete for survival.) Without it, we would
become lazy and nobody would rake any
responsibility. When three monks live together,
there will be no drinking water. This Chinese
proverb vividly describes why China's
productivity was so low before Mr Deng came
to power. At that time, we had the so-called
planned economy. There was no competition at
all. So neither farmers nor workers worked hard.
China was on the edge of collapse.
Competition can stimulate people to try their
best to do anything. For example, in 100-meter
race, each sportsman runs as quickly as
possible, trying to win the champion. The same
things happen in our society and in our daily
life. If a company wants to surpass others, it
must compete with them. It must raise its
efficiency. All the companies doing this will no
doubt benefit the whole society and the whole
human race.
Being a student, I must compete with other
students in our studies. I must study hard in all
the fields so that I can be a useful man when I
enter the society after graduation.

16.Students‟ Part-time jobs

There are many advantages for a student to
have a part time job. For instance, it helps him
to realize that no success comes from nothing.
It enables him to be independent and builds up
his self-confidence. Therefore, part-time jobs
can get the students out of the ivory tower and
give them the opportunity to know more of
himself and of his personal value in society.
As everything has two sides, the disadvantages
can‟t be ignored. Part-time jobs cut into
students‟ study time; some even become so
preoccupied with making money that they ca „t
focus their attention on studying. In the end,
the students may fall behind or fail in their
studies.
In my opinion, students can choose to take up a
job according to their own situation. The most
important thing is for him to keep a good
balance, put his study on top of the list and
assign an adequate amount of time to it.
17.Wealth and Happiness
Everybody wants to get wealth. In today‟s
material world, making money or becoming
wealthy symbolizes a person‟s success and
capability. Many people just make every effort,
pay any price to attain greater wealth. With
money, they can but nice, large apartments in
nice neighborhood; with money, they can own
stately luxury cars. Wealth seems with money,
they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems
to bring all happiness in life.
In my opinion, people cannot do anything
without money, but money is not everything.
What money will bring you depends on your
personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind
enough to help others, especially the poor,
money is a good thing to you. With it, you can
do much more for the benefit of people and
your country, and it will and to your own
happiness. If you want money just for your own
needs, you‟ll never be satisfied or happy. In a
word, you should have money spent for more
people, only then can money be the source of
your happiness.

18.Ideals
Everyone has his ideals. A businessman wishes
to make greater profit; a farmer expects
bumper harvests; a student tries to learn more
and better. And everyone strives, with more or
less effort, to realize his ideal.
One should be sensible about whether his ideal
is well founded or not. If it is, one has to plan
and work hard for its realization. Effort, skill and
persistence are all necessary. And very often,
one has to get help from others, including
advice and support in one form or another.
My ideal is to become a doctor, It is said that
the field of medicine is a well-paid profession,
but I take it as a lofty profession entrusted with
saving people‟s lives. To realize my ideal I have
concentrated on laboratory work to develop
the analytical skills necessary to become a
qualified doctor. I am sure I will realize my ideal
if I persevere in this pursuit.

19.Popular Sports in China

Sports are flourishing in china now. More and
more people are willing to take part in sports of
different kinds, such as table-tennis, football,
volleyball, and so on. Every year there are many
matches played on the city, provincial or
national level. Sports are no longer limited to a
few professional players.
Early in the morning people may be seen
doing exercise. Martial arts (like Chinese boxing
or swordplay) which formerly were cultivated
for self-defense, now have become a form of
physical exercise and are practiced in parks,
streets, gardens, or on campuses. In addition
young and old people are also often seen
running in order to build up their bodies.
China promotes sports to enhance the physical
condition of its people; she is formulating
policies to provide encouragement of this
activity. She awards prizes to the excellent
players for the best records both in china and
the world. In the world the Chinese have
become a strong people instead of “the
weaklings of East Asia”.

20.Is Failure a Bad Thing?

Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere
in our life. Students may fail in exams, scientists
may fail in their research work, and athletes
may fail in competitions.
Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes
towards failure are various. Some people don‟t
think their failure is a very important thing at all.
So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they
will have the same failure a period later. Some
people think themselves are fools and lose their
hearts in everything after they get a failure.
Consequently, they spend their time and
energy on useless things and they may really be
fools as they have thought.
Other people are quite different from the two
kinds of people mentioned above. Instead of
being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson
from every failure and become more
experienced. After hard work, they will be
successful in the end. It is said that failure is the
mother of success. Success will be gained after
times of failures so long as we are good at
drawing lesson from our failures.
 In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, the
really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or
even lose our heart after failure.

21.Modernization of Family Life

With the rapid development of the society,
family life is becoming modernized. Years ago,
people considered owing radios, sewing
machines, watches and bicycles as being
modernized. But in recent years, almost all
families have TV sets, refrigerators and washing
machines. It is very common to see people ride
motorcycles or even drive private cars and more
and more families have telephones, computers
and air-conditioners.
The modernization of family life brings us
convenience and comfort. One may enjoy TV or
radio programs, communicate with his friends
through telephone or work with his computer
while his washing machine, refrigerator and
air-conditioners are running. And by car or
motorcycle one can quickly reach wherever he
wants to go.
In spite of this, these modern facilities also
bring us disadvantages. For example, radiation
from TV sets and computers is harmful to our
health; improper driving of cars and
motorcycles becomes the major cause of traffic
accidents. The quietness of a family is often
disturbed by a falsedialing or unwelcome
phone call. But it is believed that these
disadvantages will be disposed of with the
improvement of modernization and our life will
be more healthy and more comfortable.
